My carefree life in space

Chapter 219 Entering the Ruins

The next morning, Lin Shushu noticed many people among the crowd waiting to depart whose cultivation levels she couldn't discern. She knew that these people were stronger than herself.

It was at this moment that she truly realized she was in the world of cultivation, where there were many people with profound cultivation, and that she still had a long way to go to catch up.

The path of cultivation is long, but there is still time to conquer it slowly. What must be overcome right now is the harsh weather of the far northern ice fields.

This is a world covered in silver, with the cold wind howling like a knife and blizzards falling in abundance, burying the original glaciers under thick snow.

Fortunately, everyone here is a person of cultivation, so they are not defeated by this extreme climate.

"Shushu, look over there. Those with a flame in their clothes are from the Yan Yang Sect; over there, those dressed in pure white are from the Tian Yuan Sect; and over there, those are from the Qing Xuan Sect..." Fang Siya introduced the people from the various forces to Lin Shushu.

Lin Shushu followed her hand and looked around, noting down the characteristics of each major power. This was a gathering of people, and it was normal for disciples of major sects to be looked at when they went out. Those who were being watched did not feel offended; on the contrary, they felt a subtle sense of superiority.

If it were anywhere else, Lin Shushu wouldn't dare to stare at others so openly, otherwise she would be seen as provoking them.

It takes half a day to travel from the town to the ruins. The far north ice plains treat everyone the same; no matter how high one's cultivation level, one cannot fly here.

After half a day, Lin Shushu had a good understanding of the major forces. Unsurprisingly, she spotted the people from the Shadow Pavilion in the crowd.

Noticing her staring in that direction, Fang Siya asked curiously, "Shushu, do you know those people?"

"I don't know them." Lin Shushu shook her head. She really didn't know them; she only knew them.

“Then there’s no need to get to know them. They’re from the Shadow Pavilion; they do shady things. But if you run into them, be careful,” Fang Siya cautioned.

Lin Shushu nodded, but in her heart she was thinking that they should be careful when they encountered her.

As we walked, a towering snow-capped peak came into view. It stood like a giant, a solitary guardian on this icy plain, exuding an aura of mystery and awe.

"Shushu, do you think we'll get there soon? Actually, no. Although the mountain seems to be right in front of us, it's said that no one has ever been able to get close to it."

Fang Siya's words surprised Lin Shushu greatly. Such a miraculous thing! Could it be a mirage? But that doesn't make sense either. If it were a mirage, it couldn't possibly exist forever.

Lin Shushu looked towards the snow-capped peak again, and this time she could see it more clearly. What she had seen before was only the main peak. There were also continuous ice mountains around it, which were connected together and lay across this land like a giant dragon.

"Ah!" Just then, a gasp came from the crowd ahead. Those behind, not knowing what had happened, quickly stepped forward, and Lin Shushu and the others followed.

However, before they even reached the front, they already knew what had happened to the man. The sound of the ice cracking grew louder and louder, reaching everyone's ears. The man had fallen into a suddenly opened ice hole, but fortunately, those around him reacted quickly and pulled him out.

After this incident, everyone became more vigilant. Although it looked like just an ice cave, who knew what dangers might be hidden inside?

In particular, their normally immense spiritual power proved utterly inadequate in the harsh environment of the far north. To withstand the biting cold, everyone's spiritual power was being consumed at an alarming rate, and despite constant replenishment, the rate of depletion far exceeded expectations.

Some even considered giving up, but the forbidden land was right in front of them, and their longing for the ancient ruins made them grit their teeth and persevere.

After walking for another half hour, they finally arrived at the exposed restricted area.

Since no one recognized the runes on the barrier, conventional methods of breaking it were impossible. As previously agreed, each major power would send a top expert to break it by force.

They each took their positions, their bodies radiating powerful spiritual energy. At a command, they simultaneously cast spells. In an instant, various powerful spells bloomed like fireworks, simultaneously impacting the barrier.

Powerful spiritual energy surged around, distorting the surrounding space. The restrictions trembled under this powerful attack, their light flickering as if they might shatter at any moment.

After a fierce struggle, the barrier finally succumbed to its strain and shattered completely with a loud "boom." An ancient and mysterious aura surged forth, thrilling everyone present. They eagerly rushed towards the interior; this was an ancient relic, and delaying even a moment would mean losing the initiative.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze did not rush in. Instead, they walked with the Fang family to the Fang family elder. He had just participated in breaking the restriction and his complexion was not good. He had obviously exhausted his spiritual energy.

"I need some time to recover, so please be careful from now on," Elder Fang instructed the group after taking a pill to replenish his spiritual energy.

The Fang family members nodded in unison and helped him walk toward the entrance of the ruins.

Upon entering the ruins, they were enveloped by a mysterious force, unsure of where they would be transported. A familiar sensation washed over them, and Mo Ze immediately pulled Lin Shushu into his arms and held her tightly; he didn't want to be separated from her again.

Qi Ting immediately pulled Fang Siya into his arms to shield her from the pressure of the force.

"Don't resist. Protect yourselves once you're inside." Elder Fang discovered that although this force was powerful, it wouldn't attack them unless they resisted.

Everyone did as instructed, and the panic they had felt earlier vanished.

After a dizzying spin, when they landed, they found themselves separated from their people.

As soon as Lin Shushu and Mo Ze landed, the biting cold that had been pervasive since they arrived at the ice plains vanished. Looking around, they realized they had been teleported to a desolate place.

Are there places like this in the far north ice plains? Lin Shushu was puzzled at first, but she quickly realized that this was an ancient ruin, and they might have been teleported to a specific space.

Mo Ze held Lin Shushu's hand tightly, proceeding cautiously with each step filled with vigilance. He knew that in this ruin, the slightest carelessness could lead to utter destruction.

They hadn't walked far when they were stunned by what they saw.

Everywhere you look, there are broken skeletons, which exude an ancient and powerful aura. Some of them even shimmer with a strange luster, as if they contain endless energy.

From the shape and features of the skeleton, one can vaguely see the tall, majestic, and imposing appearance of these people in life.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance, both thinking of the same word: gods.
